The findings were released by Chinese Academy of Engineering academician Li Lanjuan's research team in Wuhan, Central China's Hubei Province  on February 4.

Li said the anti-AIDS drug Kaletra/Aluvia had a poor effect on treating the pneumonia caused by novel coronavirus and had toxic side effects. She suggested adding Arbidol and Darunavir into the treatment.
